     We need this mysterious new Black Myth: Wukong graphics card

If you can't wait to play Black Myth: Wukong when it arrives later this year, and you want the ultimate graphics card to grace your rig as you play the game, this Black Myth: Wukong-themed MSI Expert card looks like the ideal choice. Or at least it would be if we knew if it even really existed, or how to get hold of one.

That's because, while this best graphics card contender is clearly some sort of MSI Nvidia GeForce model, there has been no official word on exactly what's underneath that cooler. We hope this is a legitimate card, though, as the images of it below look great.

Is this because of the time they spent playing the roleplay sandbox game or perhaps linked to how much they paid in real-world money?

     AMD's new gaming CPU is 45% faster than its predecessor says leak

An AMD Ryzen 9 9950X benchmark has just leaked, which suggests the new CPU will be 45% faster than the current AMD flagship, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X, in some applications. The benchmark is AIDA64, which is a heavily multi-threaded CPU test, and while it's not the most representative gauge of gaming performance, it still points to some significant performance gains, especially when you consider that the 9950X and 7950X both have 16 cores.

It's too early to tell if the 9950X will truly become a new best gaming CPU contender right now, but this benchmark leak certainly suggests the new AMD chip will stand a good chance when it arrives next month.

There's still a demo on Steam at the time of writing, a relic of long-ago Next Fest 2024.

The co-operative clambering of Chained Together is easy to understand. It's like Fall Guys in the fiery pits of hell, with a tower of fiendish platforming challenges. It brings to mind the mind-shattering failures of Getting Over It and a previous short-lived clamber sim called Only Up. Also, you are chained to your teammates. Every time you fall in this fiery multiplayer de-motivator, you are taking your pals with you, usually right back to the start. At RPS, we are not fazed, this should be straightforward. Nic, Edwin, and Brendan are all disciplined people. Yes, they are bound together in unbreakable irons. Yes, Nic does sometimes leap into the abyss without warning. Yes, they remain divided on precisely what obscene act the giant demon in the game's background is performing with his idle hands. But none of this means they can't work together to escape the inferno. Right?

A corn dog is something I've never eaten, because they're not really a thing in UK. I am morbidly curious about them, although I cannot ascertain their texture just by looking, which worries me. A Khorne dog, however, is a texturally simpler proposition. You can tell just by looking at today's new legendary hero for strategy game Total War Warhammer 3 that he'd be quite difficult to chew, should you get to that point. Either way, the price is definitely easy to swallow - he's completely free as part of today's patch 5.1.0, which also brings substantial changes to multiplayer.

Aside from its naturally satisfying rhythm and the cool audio dings of success that usually accompany it, I find something innately hilarious about parrying. Yes, yes, it's a deeply skilled expression of martial prowess that turns your enemy's aggression back at them. But it's also a pleasingly low-effort method to make your opponent look very silly - the combat equivalent of waving your outstretched hand and shaking your head in unison. I assume so from videogames, anyway. In reality, I could not parry a nerf dart with a metal bin lid.

The One Piece announcement covered four characters who are Baroque Works Officer and Frontier Agents. The highest "number" to show up is Mr. 3. The lowest is the Frontier Agent Mr. 9. This suggests the Arabasta Saga arc will be a major plot point this time around.

Here are the four One Piece live-action season 2 actors confirmed to appear so far, loosely in order of their hierarchy in the group:

  • Mr. 3: David Dastmalchian
  • Mr. 5: Camrus Johnson
  • Miss Valentine: Jazzara Jaslyn
  • Mr. 9: Daniel Lasker

Here's the official reveal, which shows the performers alongside their characters' art:

As a reminder, Mr. 0 and Miss All Sunday are two Baroque Works One Piece characters who end up becoming major characters in the series. Spoilers aside, for those new to the series via Netflix's live-action adaptation, but both end up playing parts and becoming integral members of other organizations.

The first season of the One Piece live-action adaptation is on Netflix now, with season 2 on the way. The anime is on both Netflix and Crunchyroll. Viz Media handles the manga outside of Japan.

Final Fantasy Moogle Bounty Mayhem board game package

Square Enix has confirmed the release date for its new board game based on Final Fantasy XII. With the new title Moogle Bounty Mayhem, the board game will appear in Japan on November 23, 2024. The company has also opened pre-orders for the set on the Japanese e-Store with a price tag of 4,400 yen (~$27.60).

The board game first appeared through a playtest version at the Spring 2024 Game Market. The tentative title, The Six Moogle Siblings' Mob Hunt, has since been confirmed as the official Japanese title. But even though Square Enix has added an English title in Moogle Bounty Mayhem, the board game will only be available in Japanese at the moment. Square Enix's North American and European web stores have yet to list the board game as of this announcement.

As the original title suggests, the six Moogle siblings from Final Fantasy XII will be the stars of this game, and the set will have a card based on each of them. All six main party members of Final Fantasy XII like Vaan and Penelo will also be represented with Hero Cards.

The set will also come with ten regular monster cards, two Yiazmat cards, and sixty battle cards, along with tokens that will denote statuses like fatigue. A gameplay session for this board game will run for around 15 minutes, and Square Enix recommends the game to be played by 2-4 people.

Pokemon TCG Illustration Contest 2024 Entrants Disqualified

The Pokemon Company International announced that multiple Pokemon TCG Illustration Contest 2024 entrants are disqualified due to not following the contest rules. The announcement didn't note how many people ended up removed or offer any reasons, but it did say more artists' work will be added to the top 300 as a result.

Here is the official statement, which appeared on the worldwide site for the event. While no reasons were mentioned, it did specifically mention "upholding the integrity of the Pokemon TCG Illustration Contest." This could mean that some of the art that made it into the top 300 that infringed people's rights and used someone else's work without permission, such as AI-created works, or that other inappropriate content made it through. The Official Contest Rules section went over these rules.

We are aware that select entrants from the top 300 finalists of the Pokemon TCG Illustration Contest 2024 have violated the official contest rules.

As a result, entrants in violation of these rules have been disqualified from the contest. Furthermore, additional artists participating in the contest will soon be selected to be among the top 300 finalists.

We're committed to upholding the integrity of the Pokemon TCG Illustration Contest and appreciate fans' continued support as we celebrate the artistic abilities of the talented Pokemon community.

This year, people were able to submit art to the Pokemon TCG Illustration Contest 2024 between October 2023 and January 2024. The theme is Magical Pokemon Moments, and the featured characters are Absol, Bidoof, Charizard, Eevee, Feraligatr, Flygon, Koraidon, Melmetal, Pikachu, and Toxtricity. The grand prize winner gets $5,000 and their design on a card. The best standard and ex winners each get $3,000 and their designs on cards. 

Here was the official trailer that first announced the contest back in September 2023.

Persona 5 Royal Makoto Niijima school uniform figure by Amakuni

Amakuni has started accepting pre-orders for its upcoming figure of Makoto Niijima in her school uniform from Persona 5 Royal. The figure will be available with a price tag of 27,500 yen (~$172.50).

This figure will have a scale of 1/7 with an overall height of around 21 cm (~8.27 inches). The static figure will mostly depict Makoto in her regular uniform in Shujin Academy, although it also includes the mask that she will use to transform into her "Queen" Phantom Thief attire.

Here are some of the sample images for Makoto's new figure, taken from multiple sides:

Amakuni has specified Hobby Japan as the primary distributor for this figure. However, Hobby Japan's online shop can only handle domestic shipments inside Japan, with its FAQ page confirming the refusal of overseas orders. People who reside outside Japan can still place an order for the figure from other outlets that support international shipments, such as AmiAmi.

The company had previously revealed a prototype of the figure at the August 2023 MegaHobby Expo. However, it took ten more months until Makoto's figure is ready for pre-orders. The figure of Ann Takamaki in her school uniform will appear earlier around September-October 2024, as the pre-order window for the latter ran through Q4 2023.

Amakuni will close the pre-order window for the Persona 5 Royal Makoto Niijima school uniform figure on August 14, 2024. The company will ship the finished figures around May-June 2025.

     How to emote while attached with a Tow Hook Cannon in FortniteMany weekly challenges are pretty straightforward, but some are poorly explained, which makes them more complicated. If you're struggling, here's how to emote while attached with a Tow Hook Cannon in Fortnite. How to complete the Tow Hook Cannon challenge in Fortnite Ultimately, the challenge is simple, but you must know how the Tow Hook Cannon works. If you shoot the Cannon at a vehicle, it will latch on, and you'll be attached to it with a cable. In this state, you can bring up your emote wheel as usual and use any action to complete the challenge. It's important to remember that the Tow Hook Cannon will only attach to driveable vehicles, so it won't stick to walls or structures. The weekly challenge is harder than it needs to be, as it suggests you visit a specific spot on the map to complete it.
